How to Win Buff-a-Move Festival
Dash Away
The primary objective of the game is to use the Dash mechanic to move out of the way of any incoming Buffamoos. To do this correctly, wait for the animals to come near you as they charge before Dashing away to register a successful dodge.
Dodging Yellow and Gray Buffamoos will yield decent and high points respectively, while Blue Buffamoos will yield more. Managing to perform "Perfect" Dashes will also help to give the player more points.
Points Needed
| Result | Points Needed |
|---|---|
| 1st Place | More than 17,000 Points |
| 2nd Place | More than 15,000 Points |
| 3rd Place | More than 14,700 Points |
In order to top the rankings for this contest, you will need to gain at least 17,000 Points.
Dashing away from Buffamoos without getting hit by them will apply a multiplier to the amount of points you get, while getting hit by them will take away points as well as end any point multiplier you get from dodging Buffamoos consecutively.
Buff-a-Move Prizes
| Result | Prize |
|---|---|
| 1st Place | Crafting Bread x9, Food x1, Equipment x1, Stat Medicine x1, 150P |
| 2nd Place | Crafting Bread x5, Food x1, Equipment x1, 100P |
| 3rd Place | Crafting Bread x3, Food x1, 50P |
| Participation | Crafting Bread x1 |
